Rapid Ring

Profitable intra-logistics units for production and distribution are the core field of psb GmbH, Material Flow + Logistics at Pirmasens (Germany). An automated sorting unit was conceptualized and installed by psb within the scope of new structuring of the central spare parts distribution (‘Zentrale Teileauslieferung ZTA’) of a wellknown automobile manufacturer in Munich (Germany). The system, with a continuous sorting capacity of more than 3,500 parts per hour, can handle more than 300 different customers. The real-time processing of enormous data quantities by the control system was one of the greatest challenges. But the enterprise has found the necessary performance for this in the Bachmann automation system.
